Where There’s Smoke is a weekly podcast that explores self-development through the filter of current events, pop culture, and experience. We surf the zeitgeist through an array of audio clips, quotes, concepts, and conversations.

In the spirit of The Daily Show and This American Life, we throw everything into an audio centrifuge that separates “what” from “why”. You walk away with insights and actionable solutions to improve your business, relationships, and almost any area of your life.

New Year’s Resolutions. Around 45% of Americans will set a
resolution for 2016 and by the end of January 36% will break them.
Ultimately, only 8% of people who make resolutions, achieve them.
Why? Well, according to a survey by the American Psychological
Association, people cite the number one reason for not following
through as a “lack of willpower”.

And so in this episode, we set out to understand willpower. What is
it? And how do you strengthen it? And what are some key things to
be aware of in the process?

Joining us is someone who knows a thing or a hundred about
willpower, writer and educator Kelly McGonigal, author of The
Willpower Instinct.

Plus we debut a new segment, and Brett & Nick close out by
sharing what they are digging.
